Sawadee Ka/Krub from Chiang Rai! 🇹🇭Where are you watching from?

[@AlenaBaska]

Hello Sam and Victor I'm watching from Phuket (Thailand)

[@SamandVictor]

@@AlenaBaskawoohooo! Thailand. Hopefully we go there one day 🎉

[@Laura-ph2uy]

Sawadee ka! I am watching from the Netherlands! the bright sunny weather from this vlog could not be a bigger contrast to the rainy gloomy weather we have here! 🥰 Thank you guys in advance for a greatly entertaining vlog!

[@WhereWeWnder]

We are watching from Trang, Thailand!

[@SamandVictor]

@@Laura-ph2uyawwww glad to hear that! Hope you get some sun soon 🎉

[@eupsychics8167]

omg the small detail about the driver and the pottery studio owner reuniting is so heartwarmingggggg

[@sirapopetanyapuch2654]

As a Thai person, you did an amazing job capturing the essence of Chiang Rai. Good job guys. Also a huge fan of your channel.

[@SamandVictor]

Thank you! That means a lot to us coming from a local!

[@mauiheng]

The music for the elephants section made me tear a bit. Happy to see these elephants are well taken care of in their natural habitats.

[@ChiiBiiBoo]

Sorry but no, what would be really good is that people can’t touch them and they can run freely in a nature park 😢

[@mauiheng]

@@ChiiBiiBooyes that would be the most ideal. But compared to other places I seen, this is can be considered much better scenario already. They didn’t make the elephants carry humans or hit them with a rod to make them behave the way they want them to be. Their natural habitat are kept close to what would have been. They are rescued and kept safe from poachers. And this is good enough.

[@ChiiBiiBoo]

@@mauiheng True, it’s just when you say ‘natural habitat’ there should be no humans walking around touching them, that’s not natural… right

[@khunnai199]

คนเชียงรายยินดีต้อนรับ คุณถ่ายทอดจังหวัดเชียงรายได้ดีมาก ขอบคุณค่ะ❤❤

[@yuannahui]

Finally!! Not a fan of temples in Thailand (you need to do Angkor in Siem Reap and Borobudur in Yogyakarta) but enjoyed your video thoroughly. Some viewers may not know this. In the Mood for Love was filmed in Thailand for the retro vibe because rapid development in Hong Kong means old buildings are getting knocked off. Can’t wait to see what Sam and Victor will show us for the 200,000 followers milestone!!

[@SamandVictor]

Yes some parts of Thailand look more like HK than HK itself 😅

[@user-ch7li3ji4dd]

this video is so aesthetically pleasing! actually my first time learning about this place, and would love to visit it one day

[@prettywoman8888]

Chiang Rai reminds me of the cave rescue some years ago. The village is such a beautiful place to visit. The resort is gorgeous and scenery breathtaking!

[@ebola_xiii9350]

ช้างเป็นสัตว์ประจำชาติไทย ฉลาด ซื่อสัตย์ และแข็งแกร่งในยามขับขัน ผมชอบเพลง ช้วงที่อยู่ปลางช้างจัง ฟังแล้งสบายๆ ร่องรอยไปกับวีดีโอดีๆ ขอบคุณครับ

[@pako_nam]

Chiang Rai province is so relaxing and chill! The last time when I was there I rented a scooter and drove around, passing luscious green rice paddies, Buddhist temples and cute cafés. The nature and temple architecture are so unique there, love that you captured that in your video

[@kathrynwong3983]

You guys have inspired me to plan a visit to Chiang Rai ....love the elephant sanctuary and resort ... definitely a must go spot!

[@anuradhabiswas8519]

Amazing video. Very engaging and poetic flow. Can't wait to see more of your travels. Chang Rai has developed a lot...kind of like Chiang Mai in early days.

[@thepopuptraveler]

To be honest, I was just around Chiang Rai 3 days ago and you just made it really aesthetic! The music choice,the vibe, the sceneries are really beautiful! This is just a beautiful vlog!

[@iss_singha3197]

awesome!! ❤ Chiang Rai is my hometown. Some of the perspectives that you convey Makes me who was born here feel excited in a new perspective that I've never seen before... Thank you for choosing my hometown... May you all be very happy... Thank you.

[@Hx3ney]

The tea pouring in that lighting with the glass 😮 so beautiful.. I could watch that on loop and just be hypnotized 🥰😊

[@user-em7xo1rw1j]

This made me want to travel to thailand, the elephants looked so sweet

[@madelineduffin1352]

loved the tour of Chang Rai. I'm watching on Canada Day morning from Calgary, Alberta.

[@ludmilaabramova3653]

Watching from Ukraine 🇺🇦 Hi, guys! Great content, enjoyed every minute 👍🏻🫶🏻

[@peterbutter2054]

You guys are so good at making videos, especially the muisc, perfect for each scene.

[@adventureswiththekurks8602]

Wow so beautiful! Love the music you chose and that it's 5 days in one video! Awesome work! 😊

[@tqrlv2nt3]

even the chicken rice in a take away box looks aesthetic here❤

[@Lunamartinz]

Wait, WHAT?!!!! This is AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS 💖 Thank you once again for an amazing vlog!

[@mercedes7761]

This video is just perfect and so well organized. I really enjoyed it:) you have a new subscriber

[@Nilaratna]

I was waiting for this! And right off the bat, the opening shot made my jaw drop. Wowie!! 😲🤩 (Watching from Bangkok, by the way. So glad you came back to Thailand again so soon.)

[@nancychan1467]

What a beautiful place to visit. Loved your first hotel and the elephants, such gentle giants. Thanks again for another great video, and wonderful music ❤

[@24daerling]

I'm watching every vlog just like a TV show or short movie! Everything looks so pretty from Sam and Victor's perspective

[@SamandVictor]

Thank you!

[@citygolfpop4139]

อยากเชิญชวนมาเที่ยวเชียงรายกันเยอะ ๆ ฤดูหนาวก็เย็น ๆ อากาศดีมาก

[@kattykattysoottasorn7059]

[@Clo-yaya_913]

Love your travel adventures soo much!! So much fun to watch and learn. I think it was especially kind the driver was also included in some of the activities ❤❤

[@elyse3884]

Wow- I love your vlogs- this trip was amazing. So many great spots to visit. The White Temple was unreal. The ground sculpture with the hands was so realistic and creepy Lol. I had to laugh regarding your description of the gold wash-temple. Haha. The color and details of the Blue Temple interior were just amazingly beautiful. You really captured the essence of Chiang rai- especially the Saturday market. 👏🏻👏🏻👍🩷💙

[@vernonandmaryana]

Yay! Love this place ❤ another amazing video

[@overcooked4189]

can‘t wait to watch your vlog. Happy to see you two again. Cheers! HK is so hot. Enjoy your holiday.

[@mayo3865]

Chiangrai is so so dreamy, wanna visit soon.

[@leonieparsons]

That vlog was wonderful. Gosh, I missed your more frequent blogs while you were away. So good to see you both on the road again. Fantastic places you visited. That white temple was amazing. Thanks for this great long vlog - it was terrific.

[@encarnacionserrano9719]

[@RMINE]

Hi! I'm in Bangkok, but I also work in Chiang Rai. Chiang Rai has over 1,000 coffee shops, and the coffee is exported worldwide. Try the Akha ethnic food when you visit again. It's delicious and made with natural ingredients. Nice clip!

[@SamandVictor]

Soooo many I couldn’t go to all the ones I pinned on google maps! Yes definitely need to come back and try more food and cafes (of course)

[@elsaannaliew1241]

From Malaysia. Chanced upon your channel. Nice vibes and aesthetics. Subscribed! 🎉

[@invisible__design657]

Stunning

[@vivz5592]

the music at the ending by Loving Caliber is so good !!!❤❤💕

[@alana_reina]

I haven't been to Thailand since 2015 but I'll never forget the funny lost in translation phrases 😂 my favorite was a nail salon offering "pedicure and medicure" 🤣

[@nmb10720]

WOOWWW WHAT A TRIP ✌

[@tangt4860]

Great caught your vlog in time - have been waiting all weekend. Thankfully visited a new coffee capsule shop and sipped the most amazing Mucho Berry coffee on rainy stormy Sunday from Momos Busan

[@SamandVictor]

Hope you enjoy it! Ooooh that sounds like a good cup of coffee 🫶🏻

[@tangt4860]

Gave away the details for you and Vic to try to get that coffee.

[@millicentliu4750]

Wonderful vibe 🎉🎉 I'm not a fan of Thailand, but I love the lovely elephants. ❤❤ By the way, I can feel the hot weather though your vibe, quite interesting 😅

[@kongpatsakdapitak5218]

Beautiful trip

[@sophitdegoede9337]

ปิ่นโต(dinner box) looks very yummy.

[@yiji899]

How aesthetic❤

[@wanderwithrm]

what a beautiful place

[@poupeeization]

If you come back chiang rai again, i recommend to go to Doi Chang , world-class coffee plantation area and a lot of coffee shop with panoramic view. Far from city about 1 hr.

[@rukableu]

Amazing intro!!!

[@anon4087]

Hi guys, possible to share the playlist for this video? It's so soothing and helped me focus on work a lot better 😭

[@fauzianalwoga1002]

Yes😫😇

[@LomosonicTH]

Big love from your fan from Thailand 💚

[@migueljimenez1063]

vlog cover is fire 🐉🔥🔥

[@kaykoo955]

Wait what?! Of course you can pour coconut milk on top of mango if you want to🤣. You can pour the whole bag if that's your taste bud. Love your aesthetic so much ❤️ from Thailand

[@leeyoonpen5225]

wow chiangrai my hometown ❤❤

[@ronaldalexboquil8356]

Chiang rai is perfect

[@tartanbhoy]

Great video, but I'm guessing I speak for a lot of viewers when I ask... "Please can you list the artist/music played in the video?" Either that, or make a Spotify playlist for us all to enjoy 😉

[@ngocvonhu8573]

Love video 😍😍

[@castelgospel121]

Thanks for the Travel 🙏✨✈️

[@nuntanijnapong]

Tell me how to stop addicted your video 😂😂. Really love mood and tone. ❤

[@SamandVictor]

Wooo!! Do it! I was worried rainy season would be less than ideal but it was nothing!

[@jujuma9862]

Can't wait to see your new vlog, so lonely last week😆

[@aRVeesBlog]

[@chirapa4327]

We will be visiting Chiangmai in October. Thanks for the great video. Really like the hotel you stayed at Chiangmai. Can you share a link to the hotel?

[@match20x]

Airfare from LAX to Taiwan or HK this Xmas has skyrocketed in the last couple of months since I started monitoring. Thank you for this video as I may check out Chang Rai instead which would make it my 5th trip to Thailand! Thank you for itinerary! 😂 Ive seen vids in the past that Chang Mai/Rai can have the worse air quality ever but not sure what time of the year. BTW would love to see travels to Malaysia for inspo! 💕

[@SamandVictor]

It’s our first time there so can’t speak much about air quality- it did rain a little every day so I guess it wasn’t as smoggy?

[@fauzianalwoga1002]

So cute😢❤

[@paroparonggaladiaries8387]

Yassssssssss❤❤❤

[@HELENAMNR.]

Not too sure if you will see this, but firstly this was a beautifully edited video. Thank you. I was wondering, where do you find the music? Thank you. 🥰

[@SamandVictor]

Epidemic sound

[@UpgradeTitandrillman969]

Watching from Manila Philippines

[@kongpatsakdapitak5218]

Yum yum Thai food

[@Bookybk70]

Hi from Chiang Rai want to know how you grading the video, love it so much.

[@SamandVictor]

Just on Final Cut Pro

[@annew.1]

You should check out Wata Khiri by Wang Put Tan tea plantation in Mae Salong. I would stay there for 3 nights on my second trip to Chiang Rai.
